HOW WE OUTSMARTED CSGO CHEATERS WITH IDENTITYLOGGER

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A CSGO community server struggled with cheaters until someone developed IdentityLogger, a system that fingerprints players based on their IP address, Steam ID, and a unique Tracking ID derived from a persistent cookie stored on the player's computer via the game's built-in web browser. This third identifier is tied to the player's Steam installation directory and prevents ban evasion by requiring cheaters to change their Steam ID, IP address, and Steam installation folder simultaneously.
